Just as Gu Changsheng said...
What right does the Lai Family have to negotiate or discuss cooperation with him now?
Instead, they put on a saintly act, like they're doing this for everyone's good, for his own good.
But in reality...
If Gu Changsheng really wanted to get involved in the jade trade, why would he let the Lai Family take advantage, when he could dominate the market alone? He'd have to be crazy to share the profits with them, and not to mention, the Lai Family's true colors are repulsive!
Up to now, apart from a perfunctory apology, there was no mention of the twenty million they had extorted from him.
They're essentially trying to get something for nothing.
They're treating Gu like a fool and making a mockery of him.
Only when he finished speaking...
Lai Jiacheng finally couldn't hold back and roared, "Gu Changsheng, so you're refusing the toast and insisting on the forfeit? My father has already given you plenty of face, and you're being ungrateful?"
